Atharva Veda 5.7

ā no bhara mā pari ṣṭhā arāte mā no rakṣīr dakṣiṇāṃ nīyamānām namo vīrtsāyā asamṛddhaye namo astv arātaye

Against niggardliness and its effects

Bring to us, stand not about, O niggard; do not prevent (? rakṣ) our sacrificial gift as led [away]; homage be to baffling (vīrtsā́), to ill-success; homage be to the niggard.

yam arāte purodhatse puruṣaṃ parirāpiṇam namas te tasmai kṛṇmo mā vaniṃ vyathayīr mama

What wheedling (? parirāpín) man thou puttest forward, O niggard, to him of thine we pay homage: do not thou disturb my winning (vaní).

pra ṇo vanir devakṛtā divā naktaṃ ca kalpatām arātim anupremo vayaṃ namo astv arātaye

Let our god-made winning progress (pra-kḷp) by day and by night; we go forth after the niggard; homage be to the niggard.

sarasvatīm anumatiṃ bhagaṃ yanto havāmahe vācam juṣṭāṃ madhumatīm avādiṣaṃ devānāṃ devahūtiṣu

Sarasvatī, Anumati, Bhaga, we going call on; pleasant (juṣṭá) honeyed speech have I spoken in the god-invocations of the gods.

yaṃ yācāmy ahaṃ vācā sarasvatyā manoyujā śraddhā tam adya vindatu dattā somena babhruṇā

Whomever I solicit (yāc) with speech, with Sarasvatī, mind-yoked, him may faith find today, given by the brown soma.

mā vaniṃ mā vācaṃ no vīrtsīr ubhāv indrāgnī ā bharatāṃ no vasūni sarve no adya ditsanto 'rātiṃ prati haryata

Do not thou baffle our winning nor speech. Let Indra and Agni both bring good things to us. De ye all, willing today to give to us, welcome the niggard.

paro 'pehy asamṛddhe vi te hetiṃ nayāmasi veda tvāhaṃ nimīvantīṃ nitudantīm arāte

Go thou far away, O ill-success; we conduct away thy missile; I know thee, O niggard, as one putting (? mīv) down, thrusting down.

uta nagnā bobhuvatī svapnayā sacase janam arāte cittaṃ vīrtsanty ākūtiṃ puruṣasya ca

Likewise, greatly making thyself naked, thou fastenest on (sac) a person in dreams, O niggard, baffling the plan and design of a man (púruṣa).

yā mahatī mahonmānā viśvā āśā vyānaśe tasyai hiraṇyakeśyai nirṛtyā akaraṃ namaḥ

She that, being great, of great height (-unmāna), permeated all regions—to her, the golden-haired, to perdition have I paid homage.

hiraṇyavarṇā subhagā hiraṇyakaśipur mahī tasyai hiraṇyadrāpaye 'rātyā akaraṃ namaḥ

Gold-colored, fortunate, gold-cushioned, great—to her, the golden-mantled, to the niggard have I paid homage.
